Goal
To get the name web program working on the class server
Method
You can choose either the C++ version or the Python version, which ever you plan to do your programming with on the first lab.
C++
Steps:
1. Use git to clone the project on you server:
git clone https://github.com/jimskon/NameLookup.git"
2. Edit the files to make the project work for you (instead of “skon”)
Edit “Makefile”. Change “user=skon” to “user=yourusername“
Edit “namelookup.js”. Near the bottom change:
url: '/cgi-bin/skon_namelookup.cgi?name='+searchStr+'&type_select='+searchType,
to
url: '/cgi-bin/yourusername_namelookup.cgi?name='+searchStr+'&type_select='+searchType,
3. Create the directories for your project in the web directory, and make yourself own these folders (change “skon” to your username):
mkdir /var/www/html/class/softdev/yourusername/Names # Folder for all your projects
4. Make the project:
make
5. Go to the application and test it out! (Use your server ip address)
http://jimskon.com/class/softdev/yourusername/Names/namelookup.html
Python
1. Clone the project:
git clone https://github.com/jimskon/PythonNameLookup.git
2. Create the directories for your project in the web directory, and make yourself own these folders (change “skon” to your username):
mkdir /var/www/html/classsoftdev/youusername/pNames # Folder for this project
3. Edit the files to make the project work for you (instead of “skon”)
Edit “Makefile”. Change “user=skon” to “user=yourusername“
Edit “namelookup.js”. Near the bottom change:
url: '/cgi-bin/skon_namelookup.py?name='+searchStr+'&type_select='+searchType,
to
url: '/cgi-bin/yourusername_namelookup.py?name='+searchStr+'&type_select='+searchType, Type "make" to copy the files to the web folder you created: make
4. Try it out: http://jimskon.com/class/softdev/yourusername/pNames/namelookup.html
Turn in:
- A screen shot of your working program
- A write up explaining how you work proceeded, and any problems you ran into.
